Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A corner chair, also known as a captains or writing chair, features a square seat set at a diamond angle with a central front leg and a curved continuous armrest. Popularised during the eighteenth century and revived in the late nineteenth century, these pieces were designed to maximize space and allow sitters to sit comfortably while wearing formal coats or gowns.

Late Victorian carved furniture typically utilises solid English or European oak, often finished with a dark stain to simulate earlier Jacobean or Renaissance pieces. Construction methods feature traditional mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved decorative splats, turned column supports, and drop-in upholstered seat pads.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces display signs of natural age, such as uneven wear on turned stretchers where feet rested, historic timber shrinkage, and dark patination in hand-carved recesses. Additionally, inspect the underside for traditional hand-planed frame edges, original corner blocks, and period fixing methods.

These structured seats work well when placed in unused room corners, study nooks, or flanking a hallway console table. Pairing dark carved oak with contemporary neutral upholstery fabrics or placing them alongside modern art creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Dust carved wood regularly using a soft, dry brush to clean intricate recesses without scratching the surface. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the direction of the grain, avoiding silicone-based sprays or water-based cleaners that can strip the original finish.
